Hi mate, I have a tan leather coupe steering wheel on my D9 estate, got it so it matches the rest of the interior.
Straight swap, no problems.

Exec saloons and estates have leather steering wheels, (probablly GTX's & SE's too, possibly some others).
Coupes, (or at least posher ones), also have leather wheels, but I understand they're a little bit smaller.

10mm in diameter i'm led to believe is how much the coupe ones are smaller
I had a coupe one on my D8.5, so no issues
just found it obscured the symbols on the stalks, but I knew what was where, so didn't bother me

I didn't measure the size - didn't really think about it. I still have the D9 estate airbag in the Coupe wheel too.

do you mean that it must installed complete with steering column and stalks?

No, I just meant as the diameter was smaller, the rim obscured the view of the symbols on the stalks
